Coverage for Itinerary Change - Visa Costs

[majmaj4]

Holland America just changed the itinerary of my trip, so we are no longer going to India.  The India visa I purchased for the trip was $240.  

I scanned my travel insurance and didn't see where this would be covered.... but has anyone had success finding any clauses that would cover costs associated with an itinerary change.    I have AIG Travel Guard annual policy, and Chase Sapphire Reserve.

 

 

Thanks for any hints on what clauses to look for....

If your policies had such coverage it would be a line-item in the schedule of benefits. 
 

Nationwide has some cruise-specific polices that cover itinerary changes but only if they occur after departure, and coverage is only for missed prepaid nonrefundable shore excursions.

 

I don’t think any travel insurance will reimburse for a visa that turns out to be unneccessary.

Hi majmaj4,

 

The coverage to look for is commonly called "Pre-Departure Itinerary Change".
